ugh, another painful loss. Josh Smith agrees, “There’s no question this is one you wake up thinking about in the morning,” he says in the Sekou Smith Traveling Hawks piece.
Its unfortunate, it would have been monumtenal to go to Dallas and steal one on them, especially the way they are rolling, the hawks could have stopped that. Let me just say that Dirk Nowitzki is a magnificent player, its no wonder or question why he won the MVP that year, he is still the 3rd best PF in the NBA(Duncan, Garnett), and the best shooting PF of all time, seriously, how many other 7 footers average 25 ppg on 50% FGs 40% 3pt 90% 3s ? Yes, so it was understood that dirk would win that matchup, it was Joe's job to exploit the matchup between he and Juan Jose Barea. HE was supposed to score 30 and Barea should have been held to single digits, well, Joe Johnson DID score 32 pts (12/22 FGs 5/10 3pt FGs 3/5 FTs) 2 rbs 2 asts, but we shouldnt have let this under 6-footer score 22 pts (16 in the 3rd), the key to Dallas 33 pts 3rd quarter that almost sealed the game.
But how o how did the Hawks score storm back with a 39 point 4th quarter and then with the hawks down by 2 with Dallas ball, Josh Smith stole the ball! He dribbles upcourt with 35 seconds left in the game, loses control on the ball, and Jason Kidd steals it, flings it upcourt to Brandon Bass, who slams it home to make it 96-92, but then Mike Bibby runs downcourt and hits a three! score 96-95, Dallas has the ball, Josh Smith fouls Jason Terry, hits both free throws, score 98-95, hawks ball. No timeouts. Joe brings the ball up, tries to force a shot, we really dont know what happened here but Jason Kidd ended up with the ball and flings it up to Brandon Bass AGAIN who slams it home again. 100-95, 3 seconds left. Joe brings the ball up and hits a 3 as the buzzer expires, just to give him that 30+. Mavs win, 100-98.
The Mavs won and they deserved to win, but the Hawks could have deserved to win too with the excellent 4th quarter they played.
Marvin played okay. Bibby played good. Josh played good. Zaza played great. Joe played great.
nobody else did anything, Flip continues to suck.
